Using geofencing, your thermostat can automatically adjust to the perfect temperature when you arrive. Watch your lights turn on as you walk up the driveway to a door that unlocks just as you reach it, and step inside to find your favorite music already playing.

All of this is possible with Alarm.com’s smart home automation.
